In its 106 years, the Optimist Club of St. Louis has several traditions in place. One of these traditions is to volunteer for Old News Boys, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that has raised millions of dollars for hundreds of St. Louis area children’s charities since 1957. A total of $250 was raised and donated by members of the Club to support the organization’s efforts.
